Good rainy afternoon movie

Warning: Spoilers
Workmen digging in Paris find a hidden passageway that leads to the burial place of a Gargoyle, a great winged monster that turns to stone in daylight. Its up to a professor and a few other people who know the truth to hunt the beast down before it reproduces.

Better than most similar films works thanks to a better script, good effects, a good cast which doesn't seem to be working just for a buck and a director and crew who tried to turn out something other than a TV movie. I really liked this a great deal. I'm a monster nut, I love a good monster movie and will gladly sit down and watch anything with a monster. As a result I've sat through a good number of real turkey's many that premiered on the SyFy network. Most of the films seem to have been cobbled together just to make a buck. here there is none of that. We get real characters, some actors who give good performances and a sense that if the crew cares they may get to make another film. The love shows and you enjoy the movie.

Certainly the plot and all that happens are ultimately rubbish, but at the same time its done well enough that you its 90 odd minutes you suspend your disbelief long enough that you end up hearing a good story.

Worth a look.
